Twice now that my purchases was delivered after a year since ordering - both online and in the store, and I even paid shipping costs lol! One order I made 3 years ago, way before the pandemic, and this current one was all delivered One Year later!
I waited to use it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, - name all the occasions that I want to use my purchase on but nope, still backordered. Lol!
If the item is backordered, it will be delivered after 1 year, pandemic or not! LOL
